Reovirus-Induced Alteration in Expression of Apoptosis and DNA Repair Genes with Potential Roles in Viral Pathogenesis
28 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Reoviruses are a leading model for understanding cellular mechanisms of virus-induced apoptosis. Reoviruses induce apoptosis in multiple cell lines in vitro, and apoptosis plays a key role in virus-induced tissue injury of the heart and brain in vivo. The activation of transcription factors NF-kappaB and c-Jun are key events in reovirus-induced apoptosis, indicating that new gene expression is critical to this...
